Default best all purpose oven

what are your thoughts on a good, all around oven suitable for a wide
variety of purposes, including:

pizza baking (high temp)
bread baking - steam? vent? proofing, then baking?
pastry baking - even temp
braising - low and slow
smoking element ?
temp probe(s)
programmable functions

other thoughts?

I imagine a commercial oven would be in order here.

Yes, probably a commercial oven. Even at that, I wonder if you'll find all
those features in *one* oven.

I've never seen an oven that smokes without being a dedicated smoker. I
suppose you could bake/braise in a commercial indoor smoker, though (sans
smoke).

Alto Shaam makes a couple of models that include an electric heating element
for smoke. These ovens serve other functions as well, but not a really high
temp oven. I'd like not to have to buy a half dozen different ovens . . .
Maybe a couple.
